Mems Fashions.

Dress shirts to wear with low vests are Of
linen or pique, quite plain, or else with very
slight embroidery, and are fastened by two
studs instead of the single large one formerly
worn. For general use are plain white linen
shield shaped bosoms Of three thicknesses of
linen; there arc also percale bosoms with col
ored horizontal stripes that show beside the
scarf, and with these white collars are used.
The English standing collar, with the fronts
turned back in quite large point, is now
most fashionable. Straight tapping collars
are abandoned for those with V-shaped
opening at The throat Cuffs are quite wide
and square, with linked buttons of chased
gold, or of plain white enamel for dress.
All scarfs arc larger now that vests and
coats are cut lower, yet glimpse of the shirt
bosom is seen on each side. Se:rfs tied by
the wcarer are most popular, and there are
also scarfs made up to look as if they had
been tied when put on. Both very light and
very dark scarfs are worn in figures and
stripes of silk, or satin, or armure gools
Some folded scarfs are shown slightly pulfed
or else quito flat, but the preference is for
knotted scarfs. White cambric ties for eve
ming are slightly wider, but are still very
narrow. Large silk inufflers to wear inside
the overcoat are very dark for day Iise and
are striped with satin in self-colors or in con-
trast; for evening use they are cream white
and also very pale lemon colored damsisk
